KWA Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It's more like an extremely vocal pressure group saw a picture of a baby seal with a plastic beer can wrap round it's nose, then read about a whale that was found with a dozen plastic bags in its stomach and decided on that evidence alone that plastic bags are bad. It's not even the regular tree huggers as many alternatives are even worse for the environment, just a movement that knew which buttons to push and where to shout loudest. Society being what it is in the facebook/me too/virtue signalling age we live in followed that flag, and so we find ourselves now bowing down to any and every pressure group that pops up. Never mind the science, here's another bandwagon coming, I'd better jump on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fygjam Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Angry US shoppers slam New York statewide plastic bag move Aussies have lived without plastic shopping bags for a while now, but it seems our New York friends aren’t coping so well with the change. New Yorkers were forced to begin grappling with a new shopping reality on Sunday as the state’s ban on plastic shopping bags kicked in – and not many people were happy about it. “I think it’s ridiculous,” Scott Kimmel, 56, said while shopping at the Whitestone Target in Queens. “I understand about ‘conserve, take care of the environment’, but c’mon!” About half the shoppers seen by The Post on the first day of the bag ban, including Mr Kimmel, were compensating by bringing their own bags from home, while another quarter opted to just go bagless rather than pay the 5c paper-bag fee allowed under the law, and the remaining 25 per cent coughed up the charge per bag. “I was totally shocked,” Target shopper Richie Alvarez, 49, said of the move. “This is what our world is coming to. Yeah, they charged me extra for the bag. “That’s why I only took one. It would normally be two or three bags.” The law, passed last year, bars single-use plastic bags at any retailer – from supermarkets to delis – that collects sales tax at their store. https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/angry-us-shoppers-slam-new-york-statewide-plastic-bag-move/news-story/e4514ec2ef551814734975d4819ea39f Meanwhile McDonald’s to phase out plastic cutlery across Australia by end of 2020 A staple part of any McDonald’s order is now set to disappear from Australian restaurants forever within a few short months. McDonald’s will ditch plastic cutlery Australia-wide by the end of 2020, it has been revealed. The burger giant has announced it will phase out plastic cutlery from all its restaurants across the country by year’s end, instead moving to “paper-based” cutlery. It will remove 585 tonnes of plastic per year, and follows Macca’s previous commitment to turn away from plastic straws this year, which means 500 million plastic straws will be removed from circulation annually. Kylie Freeland, McDonald’s Australia’s director of supply chain and sustainability said the global juggernaut was committed to being an industry leader when it comes to sustainability. “We’re committed to being an industry leader in sustainable practices, ultimately using our scale for good to positively impact challenges facing the communities we operate in,” Ms Freeland said. “By removing plastic straws and cutlery from McDonald’s restaurants, we are continuing to reduce our environmental footprint and will be removing more than 860 tonnes of plastic from our system.” Ms Freeland did say there had been teething problems with the paper cutlery but these have now been licked "by changing the consistency of some meal components". https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/mcdonalds-to-phase-out-plastic-cutlery-across-australia-by-end-of-2020/news-story/8479e3aca151498a1f30b508f474f26d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 So at "Popular", my #2 supermarket for bread they used to have the goods unpacked, you picked them and put them in a plastic bag. Later they replaced the plastic bags by paper bags. Now they have gone completely backwards and every item is individually wrapped in a plastic bag.....🙈🙈🙄🙄 So where before for 3 items there was 1 bag, now there is 3 .....
